About the book
The long-awaited companion to New York Times bestsellers Graceling and Fire
Eight years after Graceling, Bitterblue is now queen of Monsea. But the influence of her father, a violent psychopath with mind-altering abilities, lives on. Her advisors, who have run things since Leck died, believe in a forward-thinking plan: Pardon all who committed terrible acts under Leck's reign, and forget anything bad ever happened. But when Bitterblue begins sneaking outside the castle--disguised and alone--to walk the streets of her own city, she starts realizing that the kingdom has been under the thirty-five-year spell of a madman, and the only way to move forward is to revisit the past.
Two thieves, who only steal what has already been stolen, change her life forever. They hold a key to the truth of Leck's reign. And one of them, with an extreme skill called a Grace that he hasn't yet identified, holds a key to her heart.

4.0Just like how in King of Scars and Rule of Wolves I was living for the Six of Crows references, I was living for the Fire references in this. Bitterblue is based back in the seven kingdoms eight years after Graceling. We are now following Bitterblue as queen who's trying to deal with the after effects of her father, King Leck's, reign. I really enjoyed Bitterblue. It's not my favourite from the series, that was Fire, and I think I probably preferred Graceling but I did still really enjoy it. I love Kristen Cashore's writing and the way that she approaches her books. She realises when she's done something she shouldn't have and corrects herself and acknowledges it, something that's really important. Also I don't know what it is about her actual writing style but I love it and find it really enjoyable to read. The characters were amazing as always and it was great to see characters from the previous books. Katsa and Po well their relationship has just grown so much and is wonderful. Giddon has definitely improved and not just because of who's perspective we were reading him from. Raffin and Bann may not have been key players or major characters in the same way the others were but I still loved seeing them and their relationship. I'm not going to say anything about the Fire references as some may count those as a spoiler, but I loved them and wished for more. The new characters were great too. Obviously Bitterblue wasn't really a new character to us seeing as we met her in Graceling but we really got to get to know her in Bitterblue and understand what she's like. Saf was a really interesting character who made a lot of good points, as well as Teddy. And I just want to get to know Hava better. I was hooked throughout this and am so glad I finally got round to reading it. Highly recommend the whole series.
